  • 5g salt + 50g  salt for water
  • 1 teaspoon grated nutmeg (or to taste)

Steam and roast your potatoes: place potatoes in an oven tray and add 2 glasses of
water. Cover well with foil.  Cook at 250 degrees for approx 45 mins-1 hour or until cooked.

Step 2

Step 3

Distribute the flour evenly over the potatoes. Add beaten egg, parmesan, salt & grated nutmeg for flavour.

Step 4

Mix all ingredients together until well combined. Flatten out the mix on the bench with your hands.

Step 5
